The Tea Room at H.wood, Hollywood

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:

Trust Hollywood to take the most pedestrian of spaces and turn it into a star. That's what happened late in 2009 when a windowless storeroom inside the nightclub H.Wood, across the alley from the touristy Hollywood & Highland Center, was transformed into the Tea Room, a nightclub with "Prohibition tea," served chilled in teapots and spiked with spirits. The idea coalesces disparate cocktail trends: the speakeasy craze, the popularity of artisanal teas (one of the bar's partners owns a plantation in India), and the impulse to imbue beverages with healthful elements. Stars of yesterday (Paris Hilton) and today (Katy Perry) have been spotted at the club, which opens only on Wednesdays to a vibrant crowd of girls in minidresses and stiletto boots and guys in gold sneakers and skinny jeans.2010 Hot List
